WORDS AND WAVES INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP
With Bobbie Ellis and Rebecca Mark
At MOVING BODY RESOURCES
11am - 5pm EDT
112 W 27th Street #402
NY, NY

INVITATIONAL
You are invited to join Bobbie Ellis and Rebecca Mark for an introductory Words and Waves workshop.

Rebecca has been teaching Words and Waves for 35 years in California, Oregon, Washington State and New Orleans. Bobbie Ellis has been a health, yoga, movement, bodywork, practitioner for over 37 years.

Bobbie developed GlobalBody, a life/art process for living a creative life. By bringing together the breath, and movement work of Continuum with writing and drawing, Emily Conrad Da’Oud and Rebecca Mark created the practice of what was then called Poetry in Motion.  In this invitational introductory Words and Waves workshop with Bobbie and Rebecca you will experience the wonderful creativity that appears as we breath, move, and write together contacting an otherwise often hidden field of fluid imagination. For those of us writing stories of our lives, working on a short story or poem, drafting lyrics to a song, journaling, working as professional writers, or visual artists, it is often difficult to put pen to paper and discover exactly what we are trying to express. Likewise, for those who live to move and sing and dance and create visual images, it often hard to bridge the road to writing. In Words and Waves workshops the lines between these creative expressions appear as invitations rather then barriers.

Rebecca Mark and Bobbie Ellis bring a lifetime of work in movement, somatics, breath work, and expressive writing. When we combine movement, breath and sounding, with the intention to put marks on paper, images and words merge, flow more easily, and often appear as an outpouring of surprising thoughts, phrases, and imaginings. The hieroglyphic, sometimes humorous, mysterious writing that emerges, is delightful and inherently healing and often transformative. An important part of any Words and Waves workshop is that when we share in a group, the communal intermixing of characters, images, and ideas, spark our minds to shape and discover new maps of personal and social meaning.
